Hi There Card Using Aurora Wings "Wine Sprite"

Hello Friends. It is a new year! Yay! 2018 is now here. I hope it is a fabulous year for all of you; including me. So many people are already sick with the flu this year; so be careful out there. Be sure to get plenty of rest, lots of fluids and stay away from crowds if possible.

I just got word this morning that my sister, Alice, is in the hospital with a bladder infection and pneumonia. She has never been in a hospital in her life; so I am sure it is a very frightening place to her. Her husband, Kenny, is also sick and sounds like he might have pneumonia as well. My sister, Becky, told me that her husband, Darrell, is very sick with a terrible cough; so he had to go to urgent care today as well. They don't even live anywhere near each other.

I finally had some time to create a tag for Aurora Wings "Anything But A Card' blog challenge. I used Aurora Wings "Wine Sprite" (PNG version); which is so adorable! I don't drink alcohol; but I had to use this digi. She is just the cutest thing ever! I love all of Mitzi Sato-Wiuff creations. You can find her digis at her Etsy shop or at AuroraWings.com. Check them out. I own most of her digis and try to keep up with all of her new releases; so I don't miss any of them. LOL! They are all fabulous!

I have been trying to get the colors corrected on this photo; as the picture does not show the true colors. I always have trouble taking pictures of purples. Does anyone else have that problem? If you know a solution; please let me know. It is frustrating and very time consuming. I tried everything this morning to get the colors correct. These are all shades of purple, in case you think they are blues. The ribbon is purple as well; but looks blue in the photo.

Christmas Card Using Conie Fong Noelle's Gift with CTMH Paper

Hello Friends. I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and a wonderful New Years Eve! It has been very busy at our house for the month of December; with very hot weather here in Southern CA. I can't believe it can be below 0 on East Coast and 80's and 90's on the West Coast. Isn't this crazy weather?

I am writing this on New Year's Eve; because a neighbor is having a very noisy party behind our house; which is where my bedroom is located. There will be no sleeping until very late. It is a bunch of teenagers and they really know how to party with very loud music; yelling and screaming for hours. I wish I had that kind of energy again; but I don't think I would waste it on partying. LOL! I was never a party person even when I was young and we didn't have parties like these kids do. My parents would never have allowed it.

I finally found time this past few days to color and create a Christmas card using my new Conie Fong "Noelle's Gift". I thought I would get a head start on next year's Christmas cards. I didn't make enough of them this year; so I want to remedy that for next year. I hope you enjoy this gorgeous lady and her Christmas cheer.

Favorite Card Creations from 2017

My Top 20 cards for 2017

Hello Friends,

I had a really hard time choosing just 20 cards. I love all of them; so it was very hard to choose only 20 from my 2017 creations. I tried to narrow it down to the Top 10; but couldn't do it. I did a post earlier in the year of my favorite Top Art by Miran cards; so I didn't include those in this top 20. I chose them in order of post date; not in order of my preference.

I was on Ching-Chou Kuik's DT for all of 2017; creating at least 3 cards a month. I had to resign this month, due to my health. It was a very difficult decision and one that I fought all the way. I made a lot of cards this year. I love all of them; but there are too many to highlight here. LOL!

I am currently the Facebook Coordinator for Conie Fong; and have equal amounts of cards from both of my Design Teams. I chose my favorites and that was how they ended up being equal. These artists are very special to me and I am honored to have been a part of their teams.

I also love Aurora Wings and Imagine That Digis by Kris. I didn't have time to create as much with their images; but I still purchase them; and try to create with them when I can. I hope you enjoy my choice of cards.
